Cal, its clear you haven't read
No, it's clear you don't like my response.
And in the post that followed, I posted another study that debunked your claims and evidence of efficiency.
We can do this all day.
Again, if "government run health care" is so inefficient as you claim, then how is it going to run the private insurance industry out of buisness?
Because it's subsidized by tax payer money.
How can you have "competition" is one of the parties is incapable of ever failing?
To use your UPS/FedEx argument, how is it that the USPS hasn't run them out of town? The facts do not support this argument you continue to kick around.
Because Fed Ex/UPS were a response to the inefficiencies of the USPS.
The USPS wasn't created with the intention of running the other two out of business.
But your example undermines your point.
Why hasn't the USPS gone out of business? Because it's tax payer funded.
Just last week,
the Post Office announced that it lost $2,400,000,000 in the last quarter. The U.S. Post Office, right now, is anticipating a SEVEN BILLION DOLLAR LOSS at the end of the year.
So in 2009, it's anticipating losing $7,000,000,000.
In 2008, it lost $2,800,000,000.
In 2007, it lost $5,400,000,000.
And you still owe me an answer on this.
If the final bill provided a public option while guaranteeing private insurance can’t get “phased out” over time like you claim it will, would you accept having a public option?
No, I'd still oppose the bill
More difficult? Yes. "Virtually impossible"? That's a gross exaggeration. Quit making up excuses for the GOP. This is a very WEAK argument.
It's not a gross exaggeration at all.
However, your dismissal of it is pretty weak-
Pelosi's decision to eliminate the Fairness Rules was deliberate and, by design, it prevents the political minority from having influence.
Are you going to condemn that action by the part of the Democrat Majority, or just blame the minority party for their ineffectiveness?
One would think that the only reason the GOP is so opposed to legislation that would keep the private insurance industry honest and would cut into their outragious profits to benefit taxpayers and consumers is because the GOP is in the pocket of the insurance industry.
If you were to believe the rhetoric from the White House, you might. But that'd be wrong. It's unfortunate that you're compelled to make opposition to this bill a partisan issue. It's not.
Look Cal, we keep going in circles here, I'm trying really hard to have a debate with you. But you apparently don't care enough to read my posts and links, or don't really believe in the positions you've taken and are just shooting talking points from the hip without doing your research. Either way, I'm about done wasting my time here.
Interesting because I would say the same to you.
